Wheels And Tires; Temporary Mobility Kit - Ford 2015 Focus Owner's Manual

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.
Therefore you will have a temporary
mobility kit which will only repair one
damaged tire.
The kit is located in the left-hand side of
the rear luggage compartment.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tire damage, some tires can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previously
damaged tire, for example when it
has been driven under inflated. This
could cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
This could cause loss of vehicle
control.
Do not try to seal damage to the tire
sidewall. The tire could burst and
cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
The kit seals most tire punctures with a
diameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimeters).
This is to temporarily restore mobility.
